Or maybe because they have some condition that prevents them to normally develop interpersonal relationships? Like ......umm....Autism perhaps?
The problem seems to affect, although to a lesser extent, those that have developed typically as well.
Having an ASD makes it even harder. But there's probably more acceptance of people with autism now, but modern society is becoming increasingly unfriendly. More atomized. So in some ways it's worse now

I look at Modern society as having become too ego-driven. Too many people are far too concerned with how others view them.

I would agree with this. Is there any proof of it though? My theory is that natural human relationships are being taken over by economic ones.
And people are becoming more selfish and ego driven as mike said. But I think that's the natural consequence of a society increasingly dependent on capitalism.

Ice Cube's having a new rap album out early next year called "Everythang's Corrupt" which should discuss this subject quite a bit. lol

The reason why many are still single? Its simple, because were autistic and not many people like us!

This could also apply to people who only date people who look like certain celebrities.

I would say its because we cannot speak in the language of Love, somebody might like us, but they are not going to come up to us and say, "look, I really fancy you, will you ask me out please", no, instead they send out various signs and signals that say the same in the form of body language, but as we cannot read them we do not hear their invitations.
Like wise, we cannot give out signals of our own, except off putting signals like staring.
